MVN:
Here's what happened while Aramis Ramirez was broken:
Chicago Cubs, May 8: 16-13, third place, 2.5 games back
Chicago Cubs, July 6: 40-39, third place, 2.5 games back
And Lou is feeling good:
"It could have been much worse," manager Lou Piniella said. "The important thing is we're 2 1/2 games out of first place, forget what our record is. I've said all along I thought we would make a run the second half. I still feel that way."
Perhaps this is the best deadline deal they can make?
When the Cubs acquired Ramirez on July 23, 2003, the Cubs were 50-50, in third place and 5.5 games back. They went 38-24 the rest of the way.
So, yeah, they should do that again.

A supercharged victory
SuperRami, the guy the Cubs have been waiting two months to rejoin the middle of their sagging batting order, returned Monday to a standing ovation and walking under what seemed like his own sunbeam everywhere he went. And then Aramis Ramirez blended in, at third base and in the fifth spot in the lineup as the Cubs' season seemed to shift into at least a semblance of normalcy.

Cubs Take 3 of 4 From Brewers; Get Healthy Tomorrow
I didn’t see much of the game today so I won’t talk much about it. The Cubs won and took 3 of the 4 games over the weekend against the Brewers. This was a huge series for the Cubs and they stepped up. They’ve played great baseball at home all season. The offense has come to life, but they also haven’t faced much good pitching of late. Still, they’ve scored more...
